I hope everyone is having a good day and if you are in your league’s fantasy basketball playoffs, I hope everything is going well on that end too. The association is featuring six games on Thursday with some nice matchups that will hopefully lead you to some cash.
In this article, I will be providing you with my daily fantasy basketball lineup picks for DraftKings on 3/22/18. These DFS lineup picks can vary from higher-priced players and elite options, to lower-priced players and value picks on DraftKings.
Feel free to give me a shout on Twitter @Den_Clausen and say hello. Good luck!
DraftKings DFS Guards
James Harden - PG/SG, vs. DET ($11,600)
Harden has been on a roll as of late, more so over the last three games in which he is averaging 62 fantasy points per game. However, there is a chance that this game will get out of hand which could mean that he may sit early -- something to think about.
Dennis Schroder - PG, @ SAC ($6,500)
With Atlanta dealing with a plethora of injuries, Schroder, Taurean Prince and sometimes Dewayne Dedmon have been the only legit scoring options on the Hawks. Schroder dropped 41 points on the defensively-sound Utah Jazz on Tuesday and has a nice opportunity for another solid outing against Sacramento, a team that may be even worse than Atlanta.
Ricky Rubio - PG, @ DAL ($7,100)
Though I'm not a fan of this games slow pace and low over/under, Rubio has been playing too well to ignore. Over the past five games, he is averaging 16.6 points, seven assists, six boards and nearly two steals and will be going up against a Mavericks team that has had a rough season.
Other DraftKings Guards to Consider: Eric Gordon (if Chris Paul sits), Lonzo Ball, Isaiah Thomas, Donovan Mitchell, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Shelvin Mack, Marco Belinelli, Ben Simmons
DraftKings DFS Forwards
Julius Randle - PF/C, @ NOP ($8,000)
Randle has been a monster, especially over the past few months. Though he didn't play that well in the Lakers first meeting against the Pelicans this season, he made up for it the second time around by accumulating 20 points, five boards and a block. With the Pelicans playing back-to-back-to-back games, you can bet that there will be some tired legs on the New Orleans Roster, just like you can bet that Randle will take full advantage of that.
Taurean Prince - SG/SF, @ SAC ($7,200)
Prince has taken over as the number one scoring option on the Hawks. He's been playing very well lately, averaging 26.8 points, seven boards and four makes from behind the arc over the past five contests. As mentioned in the Schroder blurb, Atlanta is dealing with a bunch of injuries, which should give Prince plenty of time to work his magic.
Other DraftKings DFS Forwards to Consider: Kyle Kuzma, Skal Labissiere (if Zach Randolph is out), Mike Muscala, Cheick Diallo, Mario Hezonja (if Jonathan Isaac and Jonathon Simmons are out)
DraftKings DFS Centers
Dewayne Dedmon - C/PF, @ SAC ($5,600)
I can’t believe I’m recommending all of these Atlanta players, but it is what it is. Dedmon looked great against the Jazz as well, acquiring a double-double by way of 15 points and 15 rebounds. He’s not a bad way to go, especially if you aren’t able to afford the bigger names on Thursday night.
Other DraftKings DFS Centers to Consider: Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid, Rudy Gobert, Willie Cauley-Stein
